Cutting die sizes in half lowers costs.

The first model lacks a capacitive touch screen.
The current screen is a cheaper resistive touch.
I may wait a bit for a later release which is supposed to have the cap screen.

Can’t wait to test one. When it comes to a 400 dollar jump for the new T91, 1) it uses a Z520 atom instead of an N270 which means the die size is cut in half equaling higher costs. Secondly the touch screen requires significantly more technology to implement. I wouldn’t even think about complaining about a tablet PC under 650 as our current deployment ran 2500 per laptop. I am looking at deployment for home care nurses. Looks like a perfect fit!

$500-$600, you’ve got to be kidding. eeePC’s go for less than $200 with SSD. So a $400 premium just to add a touchscreen layer and make the screen hinge fold back. C’mon… Don’t buy this. Greed unleased.

I would buy that for $499, not a cent more. Well, alright. Maybe a few cents more. But I like seeing that 4 even though I’m paying 5.

Pictures are never to scale, but thats just hilarious. That has to be at least a 17 inch screen their showing in that second picture. The first one looks great, however.

That picture is either not to scale or it’s a VERY SMALL hand next to that 8.9″ screen…
